‘History of Pets’, A Morbidly Nostalgic Animation About Pets That Died During the Narrator’s Childhood

A History of Pets” by Belgian animator and graphic artist IZeMo is a morbidly nostalgic but strangely entertaining animation that tells the story of each pet the narrator had as a child and how each one met his/her tragic end.

A black humoured requiem for all the childhood pets, who found their end in the most curious of circumstances. One by one they get revisited as the main character takes a trip down memory lane.
